Infused Honey: A Flavorful Twist

Infused honey is simply honey that has been enhanced with the flavor of other ingredients, such as herbs, spices, fruits, or even vegetables.

This process imparts a unique and delicious taste to the honey, making it a versatile ingredient for cooking, baking, and enjoying on its own.

There are generally two methods to infuse honey:

Cold infusion: This method involves combining honey with your desired ingredients in a jar and letting it sit at room temperature for several weeks. The flavors gradually infuse into the honey.
